Only thing I can think of something similar is the Tampa Bay Bucs cheerleaders doing a dance to "Rock You Like a Hurricane" while playing the Saints during the 2005 season (meaning right after Katrina)

sometimes these directors just don't understand how these performances can play with certain crowds due to current events

Totally agree about the bringing of guns on school property. My son was outstanding student, and athlete, someone saw a soft air gun in his back seat.... we had to go before the dam parish discipline board to defend him. They were considering expulsion!
Nothing will be done in this situation.... I say that based on color of the bands skin.
This will blow up eventually, in a race war

Honestly, the people in Jackson probably didn’t even know officers were killed in Brookhaven last week.

Somebody post when CNN & MSNBC report this story. Let's do a test to see how long it takes them.

What kind of halftime show has fake AKs in the first place? That's just weird.

Also, the visiting band performs their halftime show as well more often than not in high school games.



Usually a scaled down version or at least the "normal" version.

Also, many bands have extras/pit/colorguard doing theatrical shite during the halftime shows.


You are talking about a poor, urban, inner-city public school. They usually can barely afford instructmetns and uniforms. Yet they are going to travel their "extras" for a road game?

How exactly is it appropriate for a high school skit to depict people killing other people or holding someone at gun point?

When I was in school I had pictures of my WW2 guns to show off to my buddies. Probably a felony now.



shite, I was in HS late 90’s/early00’s and we kept our shotguns in our cars so we could hunt on off period during dove season.

That's raaaaaacist LOL

Forest Hill High School: 1063 students, of which 1039, of 97.74%, identify as african american. The number of white students is so tiny that it's not even published "to prevent the identification of individuals in small cells or with unique characteristics"

Brookhaven High School: 760 students, of which 443, or 58.29%, identify as African American. 303 or 39.87% identify as white.

Also, Brookhaven was a B school in 2015-2017. Forest Hill, I know this is probably going to shock people, but was rated an F school.

It's well-known that our brains don't really get fully developed for proper decision-making until almost 25 years, now.
